If you're not diligent about replenishing bark mulch, it can start to look messy and start letting weeds through after just one season. These thick mulch mats are made of tightly woven coconut fibers and durable natural latex, so they stop weeds for several seasons. They reduce string-trimming chores too, because you can mow right over them.

These mats are fantastic. The color is a deep reddish brown when new, but fades to a great soft brown that looks very natural. Grass grows up to the the edges and softens the look after a few weeks. They make mowing around trees and smaller shrubs much easier and give everything a really nice and neat appearance. Set them down a bit below the grass line. Use the earth staples, sold separately to keep them in place and away from the mower blades.

I wanted a natural product that enhanced my landscape while helping my trees. This product has a very unnatural color and has latex in it. Not natural on any level and I paid the higher price for a tree ring because I wanted something natural - very unhappy with this product.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I planted a dwarf Azelia in a large container. The mulch ring was slightly oversized but easy to cut. The soil is kept clean, neat, and it's easy to water. I'm very happy with it. I plan to use more mulch rings on starter trees and climbing roses. I think they will all work fine. I plan to get more later on in the season.

Price is great when compared to shredded rubber mulch. However product is so light it has to be staked down and when staked down it wrinkles according to the tempature, sometimes creating 2" humps between the stakes.

I love these rings and use many of them. They are easy to put out and to mow over. My one issues is that they only last for one season and then start to fall apart. Wish they lasted longer, but Easy enough to replace if needed. Also wish they would make the inner opening larger for larger trees or shrubs.
